Peter Obi Calls for Peace Between Anambra Communities

Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress, made an appeal to the residents of Umuoba-Anam and Aguleri communities in Anambra East Local Government Area of Anambra State to end ongoing hostilities and embrace peace. In a statement shared on his official X handle, Obi expressed his sadness regarding reports of clashes between the two communities.

He warned that continued violence would lead to further destruction, particularly at a time when many Nigerians are already facing economic difficulties. Obi stated, “Hostilities of the kind we are witnessing between the two communities achieve nothing but destruction,” and urged both communities to cease hostilities immediately.

He emphasized that no grievance is worth the loss of lives or the destruction of homes and livelihoods, advocating for dialogue, reconciliation, and peace as the means to resolve differences. Obi concluded his statement by wishing wisdom for leaders and peace for the communities involved.
